Doug Pretorius (ON) 9 Report post Posted November 8, 2011 I actually advertised for a "Leasing Representative" today and got at least a dozen responses. I contacted the best person who works as a Leasing Agent already and would like some commission work in the evenings and weekends, or by appointment during the week, without making a commitment to clocking in and out. This was just one simple ad on Craigslist. I'll let you know how it works out. TimNice one Tim. Now if we could just get an agent to call the sellers and sign up the deals for us too...

bajones 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2011 I just brought an agent on board to do the marketing and showing of the properties. Working really nice so far! I just posted in the "Real Estate Jobs" section that I need a Realtor to help lease my houses. The lady I ended up hiring is a young agent just getting started and she is hungry - and it is working out really nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Working really nice so far!It just hit me that you said she's doing the showing and marketing of your properties. So she's not just showing it to your t/bs, she's finding the t/bs for you too. Sweet!

bajones 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2011 Here is the list of tasks my agent is handling: - meeting with seller to get lockbox on house.- taking the pictures.- marketing- showings- taking applications- getting their signatures on the lease and collecting check. Now, I am paying her well, at least I think it is well. I am paying her an amount equal to one months rent on the deal - when the tenant moves in. I tried this previously with an agent that only wanted $500 - but she really didn't understand what I did, nor was she willing to learn. So I moved on.... I pay for the lockbox and I also pay for and place the bandit signs in the yard and around the neighborhood - with her phone number on them. So far it is working great with this agent! She is sharp and hungry. She is a new agent - former school teacher - that wanted more time at home with her young child. She works during nap time and is free evenings and weekends for showings, etc. Hope that helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
